Homecoming Bobcats

Bluffton High School students celebrate homecoming this week with daily events culminating in a dance after Friday’s football game against Cane Bay.

The homecoming theme is “Not Another Teenage Movie,” according to BHS teacher Amy Waddell, who also is the prom coordinator among her other myriad duties.

Homecoming week dress-up days include: the “Napoleon Dynamite” nerd look on Monday; “Parent Trap” twin or duo day on Tuesday; Disney day on Wednesday; “Back to the Future” decades day on Thursday; and “Remember the Titans” on Friday, when seniors wear togas and other students sport their Bobcat spirit wear.

Homecoming week also features a variety of events for students, including Powderpuff football (for girls) and Powderbuff volleyball (for boys). A $20 homecoming package buys entry to all events, which also have individual admission prices.
